Phosphorus
The element that is a member of the nitrogen family (Group 15) and has 16 neutrons is phosphorus. It has an atomic number of 15, meaning it has 15 protons in its nucleus. Adding the 16 neutrons gives phosphorus a mass number of 31.
The main difference between nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-16 is their atomic mass. Nitrogen-14 has 7 protons and 7 neutrons in its nucleus, while nitrogen-16 has 7 protons and 9 neutrons. This results in nitrogen-16 being slightly heavier than nitrogen-14.
Subtract the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass number 16. The atomic number of nitrogen is 7, therefore its atoms have 7 protons. The number of neutrons in the atoms of the isotope nitrogen-16 is 16 -7 = 9 neutrons.
Nitrogen (the isotope 14N) has 7 neutrons.
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, (9 altogether) and ten neutrons.
It is the 2nd member of nitrogen family, P, phosphorus with 15 protons, 15 electrons and 16 neutrons.
silicon
The only element in nitrogen family with 16 neutrons is the element Phosphorus (symbol: P). However it is a solid at room temperature and not gas.

Two more neutrons
No, they are isotopes with the same atomic mass. But they are isotopes of different elements and so are very different from on another. For example nitrogen-16 and nitrogen-14 are isotopes of the same element.
Subtract the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass number 16. The atomic number of nitrogen is 7, therefore its atoms have 7 protons. The number of neutrons in the atoms of the isotope nitrogen-16 is 16 -7 = 9 neutrons.
Nitrogen has 7 neutrons.
Every nitrogen atom has 7 electrons. There are 7, 8 and 9 neutrons in nitrogen-14, nitrogen-15 and nitrogen-16 isotopes respectively.
Nitrogen (the isotope 14N) has 7 neutrons.
